Bridle Trails State Park

Seattle equestrians love this forested park near the city. Bridle Trails State Park, located between Kirkland and Redmond, offers extensive horse trails and a horse-friendly culture. Sometimes called “the wilderness in the city,” Bridle Trails is a popular early morning, afternoon or after-work getaway for Seattle and Eastside residents.

Sporting three arenas and a calendar full of horse shows and organized rides, Bridle Trails caters primarily to equines and friends, but the park is also friendly to hikers, including those with leashed dogs. In addition to horse-related events, Bridle Trails hosts a plethora of arts, stewardship and educational programs, evening musical shows and the Bridle Trails’ Foundation’s annual community party. This accessible urban oasis spells fun for the whole family, including family members with four legs and a tail.
